'Rock-bottom' fishermen urge government to renegotiate Common Fisheries Policy in wake of EU-UK reset deal

Reset deal covers areas including trade, education, energy, and security 

The chief executive of the Irish South and West Fish Producers’ Organisation, Patrick Murphy warned that without changes to the EU’s Common Fisheries Policy, the deal “doesn’t bode well for the future of Ireland’s fishing industry”.

The Government has been urged to begin renegotiating the Commons Fisheries Policy (CFP) in the wake of EU agreement with the UK on a reset trade deal.

British prime minister Keir Starmer met European Commission president Ursula von der Leyen and European Council president Antonio Costa at a summit in Lancaster House, London, yesterday to seal the deal, which covers areas including trade, education, energy, security, and defence partnerships.
